Abstract
Team B of the 2023 class of American Library Association’s (ALA) Emerging Leaders’
program was tasked by the Distance and Online Learning Section (DOLS) of the Association of
College and Research Libraries (ACRL) to identify accessible tools for online learning.
Our specific project task was to identify how academic librarians consider accessibility in
designing and delivering online instruction, and what tools and technologies they use to support
accessibility in the online learning environment. Our task was best accomplished by designing,
developing, and creating a survey, which will be distributed by DOLS after the completion of the
Team B project, to a wide-range of academic librarians involved in online and distance learning.
From February to May 2023, Team B reviewed literature and best practices, and drafted a
survey. We received feedback from the DOLS Executive Committee and academic librarian
peers, which was incorporated into our final survey. Throughout May and into June, our team put
together a poster, video, and this final report to present our work as Emerging Leaders.
This report summarizes our project process, including a literature scan and our goals,
methodology, survey development, outcomes, and next steps.
